I can go one step further and point out that Wheeler brought Building Culture to the OKC Metro, and that Wheeler-connected Carlton Landing is what brought them to Oklahoma to begin with. It's perfectly fine to say that neighborhoods like this aren't a person's particular cup of tea, but for hundreds (and likely thousands) of people and families it is EXACTLY what they are looking for. Healthy communities offer a diversity of lifestyle options.
